Josh did admit he did it when they were asleep. I’m sure he did that so he would not be caught. Modesty and dress have nothing to do with it. You have to understand rape, the rapist/molester and the victim. Rapist/molester ie the predator attacks the victim ie the prey for one reason, this is because the rapist can over power the victim. Dress and modesty have nothing to do with it. Bag ladies on skid row have been raped and they wear every thing they own. This sort of thing is not about lust, but about power and dominance over another person.

And when they were awake. Is molestation the same as rape? Did Josh Duggar molest or did he rape?
“Rapist/molester ie the predator attacks the victim ie the prey for one reason, this is because the rapist can over power the victim.”
You are wrong about this. Rape IS about power. Pedophilia is about sexual attraction. In some cases the two coincide, but not always.
What the parents did represents failure as parents, but they are not mandatory reporters and did not commit a “cover up” crime as has been repeatedly claimed.
Anger and hatred has been directed at Josh for his abominable actions. That is understandable. Ultimately it is up to his victims and God whether he finds forgiveness. No one on this forum (unless she is one of HIS victims) has any say in this matter.
Anger and hatred has been directed at the parents. The left hates them for standing against homosexual “marriage” and transgenderism, etc. Yet we have the same hatred being displayed here for their failure as parents. It is ridiculous to think that punishing the parents will have any positive benefit to society or especially the victims.
Anger and hatred has been directed at the victims as well. The left is happy to re-victimize them and publicly shame them. Apparently some on this forum relish in the same.
What’s next? Do you plan to advocate punishing the victims for forgiving their brother?
